Mavs Get Caleb Martin In Trade That Sends Quentin Grimes And A Draft Pick To Sixers

Caleb Martin and Quentin Grimes are switching locker rooms in Philadelphia.

The Dallas Mavericks acquired Martin on Tuesday in a trade with the 76ers that sends Grimes back to the Eastern Conference. Philadelphia also gets a 2025 second-round pick in a deal that was announced a few hours before the teams were set to play at the Wells Fargo Center.

The Mavericks made the move three days after the seismic trade that sent Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers for Anthony Davis in a rare swap of superstars.

Martin, who has been out since Jan. 10 with groin and hip injuries, and Grimes both were in their first seasons with their teams. The Sixers had listed Martin as questionable Tuesday night with a sprained right hip.

Martin turned down more money from Miami to sign with the 76ers in hopes of chasing a championship with Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey and Paul George.
